Drew Barrymore praises Adam Sandler's parenting while talking with Mindy Kaling
Drew Barrymore is sharing her signs of a good parent. While talking with fellow actress Mindy Kaling on a recent episode of 'The Drew Barrymore Show,' Drew Barrymore explained what she thinks makes a good parent. She then shared that Adam Sandler and his wife Jackie Sandler have those qualities. 'I feel like it's a really good sign of a good soul and good parenting when older kids are not dismissive of younger kids,' Barrymore explained in a clip shared by Entertainment Tonight as she and Kaling, who is a single mom of three, talked about parenting and raising kind children. As Kaling agreed with Barrymore's statement, the talk show host said, 'it's funny like not to drop names, but Adam Sandler's daughters, Sunny and Sadie, are so good to my daughters. And they're 16 and 18, and Olive and Frankie are 10 and 12, and they like 'hang out!'' 'I always tell Jackie, Adam's wife, what a good mom that she is, and what good parents they are, because their daughters like, always take younger ones under the wing. So I can only hope that Olive and Frankie demonstrate that.' Fans called that portion of their conversation 'wholesome.' 'Wholesome shout-out! Love seeing longtime friends lift each other up like this,' one person commented on Entertainment Tonight's Instagram post. 'When a celebrity is self made and not problematic, best believe they're gonna raise their kids right,' added another fan. 'This is so true! Should always treat little ones with kindness and show you care for them. Take them under your wing. You are never 'too cool' to be kind,' another commenter added. Barrymore and Sandler have been friends since meeting in 1998 on the set of their first movie together, 'The Wedding Singer.' The friendly duo have gone on to film other movies together, including '50 First Dates' and 'Blended.' In April while answering audience questions during a taping of her talkshow, Barrymore said she and Sandler have plans of filming another movie together sometime soon, according to Today. 'I think so, as far as — I know so. That's a yes, and it's a matter of when, but I don't think it'll be too long, because we've always done everything every 10 years, and we're running out of time. We're past 10 years at this point.'

Drew Barrymore addresses 'sexual chemistry' with Adam Sandler
Drew Barrymore thinks her friendship with Adam Sandler goes beyond "hot, sexual chemistry". The 49-year-old Hollywood icon has starred in a string of movies opposite 58-year-old Sandler, including The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates. While the pair frequently play lovers on-screen, they are nothing more than friends and colleagues off-screen and Sandler has been married to Jackie Sandler, 50, since 2003. Opening up about her on-screen husband on Watch What Happens Live, Barrymore declared, "I mean, I love that Adam Sandler and I are so platonic... We never dated, his wife Jackie is my dear friend." Explaining the secret to the convincing romantic scenes that they have played on screen, the ET icon said it is all down to mutual respect. She said, "I love being in films with him, because I think we're representing something bigger than hot, sexual chemistry. We're representing true admiration of another person." In 2022, Barrymore shared hope of making another movie with Sandler - with 2014's Blended being their last. She told the Chicks in the Office podcast, "I want to do another movie with Sandler. We've done it every 10 years, and it's about to be 10 years. I think that would make me so happy." Sandler will soon be seen on screens in a coming-of-age comedy-drama called Jay Kelly and in the sports comedy sequel Happy Gilmore 2 - both expected to be released this year.
